By Luavut Zahid Verified| Pakistan Today Verified Amidst a largely bleak period, a donor’s conference held in Geneva presented a rare bright spot for Pakistan where donors pledged close to $ 10 billion in funding over the next few years to help the country rebuild from devastating floods. The funding is meant to not only just rebuild, but also to introduce climate resilient infrastructure and planning to mitigate such disasters in the future. However, securing funding and using it effectively are two entirely different challenges.
By Luavut Zahid Verified| Climate Home News Verified When it was announced, the World Bank’s Solid Waste Emergency and Efficiency Project (Sweep) was touted as one of the lifelines that would help Pakistan’s biggest city, Karachi, with its urban flooding nightmare. But that hasn’t happened. Flooding returned stronger every year since, upending the city in both 2021 and 2022.
By Luavut Zahid Verified| The Daily Beast Verified Pakistan has been battered by one flash flood after another in the past summer—but the country isn’t new to rain wreaking havoc. In 2020, its financial capital Karachi saw a historic level of flooding that killed more than four dozen people. While it was said to be the worst flood in city history, it was made even more disastrous by the apathy shown by authorities in dealing with floods over the years. After 2020, though, people began to turn to social media in order to find better solutions.
